Synopsis

When the Beatles, the most famous and influential pop band in the world, broke up in 1970, few expected that Paul McCartney, the band's resident heartthrob, would form another highly successful rock band. With the creation of Wings, McCartney and his wife Linda achieved just that. *Wingspan* is a documentary that offers an in-depth look at McCartney's labor of love, blending the musical history of the band with the McCartney family's story. Utilizing rare behind-the-scenes footage, home movies, and intimate family photos, the film recounts the journey of the band that wrote hits like "Jet."

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
